At 1:07 PM Eastern Time, the St. Louis Cardinals will take on the Washington Nationals in the most important game of their five-game National League Division Series. With the series tied one to one, the winner will move within one game of going to the National League Championship Series.

A must-win for both teams.

The weather is said to be partly cloudy, with a game time temperature around 70 degrees. It should be a great day for playoff baseball, Nationals Park will host its first ever playoff game.

A live telecast will be presented on MLB Network. Check your local listing for channel identification and you can tune into my live blog for updates, analysis, and play-by-play commentary. I will also be available to answers any questions you might have before, during, and after the game.
